He sings in his school's A cappella ensemble, Coda Red. He can play the ukulele and violin. He's a straight-A student acing his Calculus 3 class this semester at Lehigh University.

Jack McCambridge is also an all-state soccer player.

In a couple weeks, the senior academic-athletic standout at Moravian Academy will join the Lions' swimming team for the first time.

"I just want to be part of the swim team and have a good time," McCambridge, a captain on the soccer team, said. "I'll be someone who's no good at something and turn that it into a challenge. It'll be a different experience."

Yes, John "Jack" Morgan McCambridge of Lower Saucon Township is the ultimate overachiever. A proud overachiever.

"I'd definitely like to think I'm that," he said with a smile.

He's also a sentimentalist.

Tonight at Hersheypark Stadium, McCambridge will be playing the final game of his four-year scholastic career at Moravian Academy — and perhaps, his last competitive soccer match ever.

The District 11 champion Lions (21-3) meet Sewickley Academy (19-2-2) in the PIAA Class A state final. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

"I live in the same neighborhood as [classmates and teammates] Jeff Brown, Andrew Myers and Demetri Tsirukis," McCambridge said. "We've spent the last 12 years going to Lehigh and shooting soccer balls together. The first 10 years, we rode our bikes. The last two years, we take a car. It was a fun time. This game is kind of the culmination of those 12 years for us.

"Right now, I'm incredibly excited. It hasn't hit me yet that this is the end. But win or lose, there'll be a twitch of sadness. Then it about a week, the finality will set in."

After Moravian Academy's first five games, McCambridge thought the Lions' season might come to an abrupt and disappointing end.

The team fashioned a surprisingly poor 3-2 record.

There was concern and frustration.

"Certainly, I was worried. A lot of us kind of were kind of expecting to be undefeated state champions. That was the dream, really," said McCambridge, a defensive midfielder. "Our second loss, to Notre Dame-Green Pond, was kind of the wakeup call that let us know we're not the untouchable team we thought we were. The way it's turned out, the 3-2 start maybe pushed us to where we are now."

The turning point of the season, according to McCambridge, came when the Lions scored back-to-back victories over Northwestern, the Colonial League's last undefeated team at the time, and state power New Hope-Solebury.

At this point, Moravian Academy has strung together 11 wins — with eight coming in the postseason.

Coach Bob Hartman's Lions won the league championship (2-1 in two overtimes over Southern Lehigh) and the District 11 A title [8-0 over Schuylkill Haven). A state title would make it the trifecta.

"Winning the Colonial League championship," said McCambridge, whose penalty kick clinched that victory, "cemented in our minds that we could win a state championship."

McCambridge is a talented player with outstanding ball skills. Hartman believes that his greatest quality, though, is the ability to lead.

The proverbial "coach on the field."

"He's the glue of our team," said Hartman, in his 13th season as Moravian Academy's coach. "He holds the back and front together. He connects a lot of passes back-to-front and he's a ball-winner. And Jack's just a tremendous leader."

"A defensive midfielder certainly isn't a glorious position," McCambridge said. "My role isn't to score goals and it's not to assist too often. My main role is to keep everyone on the same page. It's like I play half the game for myself and the other half for my team. I keep our guys working for a common goal — winning."

After Moravian Academy, McCambridge is aiming to take his leadership skills to Yale.

He's applied to the Ivy League school and hopes to join up with his older brother, Gordon, a senior at Yale. Certainly, his self-starting type-A personality will serve him well in the future.

"I'll try to walk on to the soccer team in college," said McCambridge, who taught himself to play the ukulele by watching YouTube videos. "If that doesn't work out, I'll join the A cappella group or maybe I'll take up something new."
